Qnoors are subliminal (Jaye Hayes) + dubhustler (Jason Sweeney)
http://fluidtransmissions.va.com.au -Melbourne-based net-radio outcasters,
queer operators with outlaw attitude, secret audio agents with hidden
agendas, remote communicators displaced between unnamed frequencies, broken
bandwidths and lost highways. qnoors harbour a delinquent disregard for the
linear notion of productivity and the corporate gloss of hi-tek production.
Noo (non-object oriented) media outputs are intrinsic to its methodology;
manifestations are multiple and diffuse. qnoors like using technology that
fails more often than we do. Failure is the noo success.
